Good decision for some Japanese exchanges to announced early about the Bitcoin gold fork stance. It will still be under the radar and they seems to be on a wait and see stage. Although of course we all want to get this free coins but if it not stable then how can the exchange support it? I also admire that it will just take 1 week to make a decision. Because I know a exchanges that took them 1 month to make decisions to support bitcoin cash before and up to know they are not yet giving the free coins to their customers. And now another fork is looming, so I think it will take time for this exchanges to make decisions regarding the support on Bitcoin Gold.

I hope all exchanges follow the plan to distribute their Bitcoin Gold

Bitflyer

No suspension of service is scheduled. The exchange wrote:
"If the BTG [Bitcoin Gold] split is deemed by Bitflyer to be permanent and secure in regards to customer assets, on November 1 (tentative), users will be credited with BTG and purchase and sale of BTG will be made available on Bitflyer.
In addition, the exchange detailed “after sufficient observation of the stability in the BTG chain after the split, BTG deposit and withdrawal services will be made available on Bitflyer.”
Coincheck

In addition, the coins will not be made available if Coincheck decides that the “listing of bitcoin gold is inappropriate.” Currently, no service suspension has been planned. The exchange wrote:
"We are planning to distribute bitcoin gold after we confirmed its security and stability. We haven’t determined the specific date and time yet."
